The sad thing is they did only make 500 total, and yet they're still available everywhere.

The initial marketing was handled horribly. It was "revolutionary" and "never before seen" but then it turned out to be a rather bland dump chamber design with a lot of FSDO problems. Efficiency isn't anything to write home about but maintenance is pretty easy due to lack of orings. DP is sticking with optical triggers and a lot of people just can't get used to them either. Being a one off design, there's next to zero after market support, which is important to a lot of people who enjoy "ups".

Macdev Droids are selling like hot cakes and yet they're twice the price as thresholds. MacDev came up with a rather complicated bolt assembly with even more o-rings than a Shocker, but has the same number of traveling o-rings as the Threshold and great efficiency.
